Re: Patch 27/03/12 ~ Server currently unstable.
I would like to offer a word of warning to Droners. I cannot refund drones if you lose them to a crash. Until we've confirmed the server's stability, if you choose to use drones you take your drones' lives into your own hands. _________________ This is terribly unfair-- what it is saying is droners -- dont play. This is just a reflection of the fact that drones are lost when they are killed. That is terribly unfair considering the high cost of top end drones. Drones should be like slaves and go into stasis. What makes it worse is if you have a storage character you have NO OPTION but to use drones to solo level as it is the engineer class that has the space bonuses that a storage character needs (at least if you are a dedicated base builder) The current system just sucks |

HEY ADMINS. I JUST LOST A SET OF ARMADAS INFERNOES BECAUSE OF CRASHES. REFUND THEM NOW.
HEY ADMINS. I JUST LOST 3 BFD'S BECAUSE OF CRASHES. REFUND THEM NOW. HEY ADMINS. I JUST LOST AN ACHARGE A C&C AND 3 BFD'S BECAUSE OF CRASHES. REFUND THEM NOW. Admins are not going to spend their time giving you free drones when instead they could be fixing the bugs. Go make an alt or go cry some more. Admins are people too. _________________ Blue Dwarf wrote: In space, no one can hear you cha cha cha. |

Admins gave a warning to those who use drones.
If admins told me that the server could crash and make me lose any of my ten dreads, I'd simply stop playing until the server is stabilized, even if admins were offering to replace them. Having admins replace drones will only slow down fixing the server, ergo slowing things down for everyone. _________________ Blue Dwarf wrote: In space, no one can hear you cha cha cha. |

they should at least refund the drones after the server is fixed cause its not the droners fault drones are a DMs only way of gameplay

He was incorrect in saying this isn't "fair", and using his rage to fuel another rant in the ongoing discussion about how to make drone losses less extreme. Might I point out that they also said, "Don't start any expensive builds" with the implication those wouldn't be refunded either. The blanket policy against refunds is reasonable and understandable, so live with it. Don't make it taint the larger issue of drone losses. _________________ Pies are yummy. |

If drones wouldnt be so expensive to lose, and had some form of statis or recovery. The admins wouldnt need to worry about support tickets from angry droners.
And then they could choose to spend more resources in server development and maintenance instead of spending them on quickly answering support tickets. Oh wait... _________________ ~Lots of love and cookies and blue fur ~Yurbs |

True, However currently only 1 type of class is unable to play, instead of the whole playerbase. _________________ ~Lots of love and cookies and blue fur ~Yurbs |

Lol that's not my join date I started playing in 2004, but in any case I never actually used the forums until about a year or so ago.
